A teacher at Northside High School in Warner Robins now faces a simple battery charge after a Dec. 1 classroom fight with a student.

Warner Robins police say Dan Kelly was arrested Monday, after turning himself in to the Houston County Sheriff's Office. That's according to Jennifer Parson with the Warner Robins Police Department. He was released from the Houston County jail on $1,100 bond.

According to their news release, detectives interviewed all student witnesses, the student involved, Logan Hancock, and Kelly himself.

"All interviews along with video evidence" support charging Kelly, the release says.

Macon attorney F. Bradford Wilson Jr., who is representing Kelly, told us, "We fully intend to contest those charges. His actions were in self defense. The student attacked him, and he was defending himself."

That's where William Everson comes in.

Everson says he's just paying the generosity forward. Friends and family stepped in to help him when he was run over, trying to stop his tow truck from hitting three women after his brakes failed.

"I was looking out the back of the truck and I see two younger girls and an elderly lady getting stuff out of the back of their vehicle." says Everson, "So it was God's intervention, that made me reach up and grab the shifter cable and pull down on it, knowing what would happen, that caused the truck to roll over me forward with the back tires. So really at that point, that's all I remember about it. I mean it was the truck running over me and I woke up in hospital."
